✨ Bandha!! 🥰
Bandha are locks or seals holding energy inward that we apply in the physical body to impact our flow of energy in asana, pranayama, and dharana (poses, energy direction, and meditative focus).
3 Main Bandha:
🔒 Mula Bandha: root lock, sealing the pelvic floor
🔒 Uddiyana Bandha: plexus lock, sealing the abdomen
🔒 Jalandhara Bandha: throat lock, sealing the throat
When all three Bandha are applied together cohesively they create the Maha Bandha “great lock” which can deepen our connection to energy within and around us.
There are other individual Bandha that can be applied aside from these main ones. Would you like to learn more?
With guidance from an experienced teacher, Bandha can establish stillness, steadiness, and strength from within.
🙏
